i just got new headers and mufflers installed yesterday. when i started it up, it blew dark smoke. it didnt smell like oil. however, i was wondering if the insides of new headers and mufflers burn whatever residue is left over from manufacturing. OR should i be concerned.
 
No need for concern, that is normal for new exhaust piping. There will always be some of the machine oil residue left on any new system, and one can usually smell what seems like burning oil, or as in your case, see some oil smoke. Have fun with your new headers! :upthumbs

_ken :w
 
just like a new grill it gotta be seasoned just right ;)
 
thanx for putting my mind at ease. i thought this guy took out my car for some fun and blew a ring. smoke is pretty much gone after a few passes down the highway.
 
Hey Regal, where did ya get your Headers installed,and what brand,thanx:beer
